Defensive and offensive schemes are better than the 90s - athletes are better overall today than in the 90s. This is the toughest defensive era.

But curry is GOAT shooter
I honestly don't know. I don't know how long he has to play at this level for me to know either.
Breh, I'm with you, but Curry shoots like a create-a-player. We've never seen anything like him. Curry makes that team go and is the reason all those guys have insane FG%. He has to keep it up for a while, but this is one helluva start.
This is the first time since Kobe that we've seen scoring like this. Even Durant in '13-14 wasn't doing it quite like this, in my opinion.
Put Durant in the 60s/70s and he'd average some shyt that would NEVER be eclipsed. Muhfukkas wouldn't know what to do with him,Can you even name 3 players oscar even played with
Curry cant be the greatest scorer ever tho. KD will end his career as the greatest pound for pound perimeter scorer of all time in every possible statistic whether you know it or not
It's hard to comprehend and doesn't seem possible for Curry to keep this up...but he's only getting better.I honestly don't know. I don't know how long he has to play at this level for me to know either.
curry putting up 40 points on damn near 60% shooting 
bron stans cant deal with their hero being limited to bulldozing his way to the rim to score

32 points in 34 minutes at 50%+ at the degree of difficulty he takes his shots + only SIX free throws a game is unfathomable.
So far this season, Curry's offensive production is nearly 25 points per 100 possessions better than average. His efg is .650. That ranks 22nd all-time (yes, ALL-time) and the players ranking ahead of him are all low-usage types (at least in the season where they shot so well). Most of them are bigs.
Curry's TS% is .700, which ranks 4th all-time. Ahead of him (minimum 500 total minutes): Chris Wilcox (just 830 minutes that season), Tyson Chandler and Artis Gilmore.
Curry is shooting 60% from 2pt range. He's at .943 from the FT line.
He's shooting .459 from 3pt range, on 15.5 attempts per 100 team possessions. League average this season: 4.9 attempts per 100 team possessions.
He gets to the FT line about twice as often as average.
Despite being just 6-3, he's only 2 rebounds per 100 possessions below the league average for ANY position -- he gets 7.1 per 100 possessions; average is 9.1.
Even with the shooting, his assist rate per 100 team possessions is about double the league average. He gets twice as many steals as average. And he fouls less too.
So far this season, Curry is scoring 44.7 points per 100 team possessions. That would be the third best scoring season since 1977-78 behind Jordan (46.4 pts per 100 in 86-87) and Kobe (45.5 in 05-06). But, Jordan's usage rate that season: 37.0%. Kobe's was 36.4%. Curry's this year: 31.3%.
For comparison, in 90-91 Jordan had a usage rate of 31.9% and scored 2.0 points per 100 possessions fewer than what Curry has done so far.
IF Curry can keep this up, it's an all-time great season.

Defensive schemes are light years ahead of 90s. People thing pro ball has gotten easier to score but they are sorely mistaken
